Johnny Broke The Siege. Story with an all lifetime lesson

Image
     Jonny was only five years old when he lost his father Agbeli Dzidepo. The mother’s name is Asinyo Esinam, a woman of value but unfortunately financially handicapped. Even before Mrs Esi lost her husband, life has not been easy for this household even though her husband was a teacher in Living Academy Preparatory School. Johnny was a handsome and a respectful boy who took exactly after his father’s good moral. His parents were very particular about his moral upbringing and his growth academically. Unlike children who turn out to be a disappointment even when their parents work tirelessly for their upkeep, his attitude was different. At home, he is the type that would run errands for the mother and made sure he reads his notes after and before school. Johnny learnt a very common saying one day which gingers him to aspire higher even as a child. “Reading makes the man“ and “Practice makes man perfect.“ He never went a day without saying this after his morning devotion with the mother

A number of childhood plays and games which every child is likely to have engaged in have been collected and presented in this article. FOOTBALL  Ghana is a hub of many sporting activities like football, beach soccer, and ampe(a local game played normally by women but becomes lovely when played with guys). It is so interesting that people love sports all over the world and in Ghana people love sports as well. Young people mostly enjoy it the most because they have the enthusiastic energy to engage in the game.

LEARNING THE PROCESS OF COCONUT OIL PREPARATION

Coconut is one of the useful commodities in our country because it has many benefits. There are so many uses of coconut which you can read about HERE . One of these uses which is oil production is what we want to look at in this article. Before we continue, the coconut tree is planted by first nursing a mature and dry coconut that has fallen by itself. Coconut takes at least five years after planting before it begins to produce coconut. This type of farming is also a lucrative one considering the many ways that coconuts are useful to the whole world.  To prepare coconut oil, you must have dry coconuts or those mature but not completely dry too can be used.  GRIND THE DRY COCONUT After you have at hand the coconuts to use, you need to grind them at a mill and then the next stage continues, It will surprise you that formerly our parents used to grind using some simple metal grates at home because there were no mills.

A student ready for school Education is such that it does not pay off in short term but in the long run, you will reap its fruits if carefully undertaken. Most students do not have a clear vision of what they want to be and the related course they have to pursue to pave way for their future professions. This problem has caused many to complete but hopeless because their decision was based on an influence that negatively affected them. Parents who are not well-educated are mostly fond of leaving their wards to do what they think is right in school without proper consultation from those who have the know-how. My assignment in this article is to make Junior High School leavers, parents, and guardians to be aware of the fact that reading Visual Arts in school does not render a student block-headed. Students who do not research to have knowledge about the various courses offered in secondary school end up choosing courses that do not benefit them or even tend to be a hindrance sometimes. Ta

Fresh tomato Farming is a work that everyone in one way or another other has to do to support the economy of his or her respective country. Can you imagine how our country will be if every household can create a backyard garden? Farming is not always as hard to do as some people perceive it to be but the bottom line is getting the right knowledge about what goes into it. My father taught Agriculture in college and my mother even though a seamstress loves to farm a lot. She plants, maize, cassava, groundnuts, beans, and okra among others. Having both parents of mine having something to do with farming, I grew up at an early age with a love for farming. Back in my basic school days, I planted maize and when it grew we cooked it fresh and roasted some and from that time going I told myself not to forsake this noble work. I planted tomatoes and pepper in my backyard garden and as I got a good yield, I even sold some and so we also had a relief because the family didn't have to purchase

How do you make pointillism art? The techniques and execution strategy

Image
Drawing as a practice that is very useful in advertising, branding, illustration, animation and the rest has many techniques employed for different purposes. After a drawing is done, it has to be shaded to give it form so that it looks realistic or solid. When this is not done, a drawing is said to be incomplete since there will not be any explicit definition to what is drawn on the support. The above is a skull drawn and shaded with a pencil. The artist student who did this drawing made sure where there have to be shadows, the dots are more concentrated over there. Observe the eye socket, beneath the cranium, the gum and other areas. Without a good variation of the dots, the drawing would have been flat. Some shading techniques are: Pointillism Hatching Cross-hatching Mass shading Among these, we are going to look at POINTILLISM which is one of the shading or drawing techniques that is time-consuming and maybe even difficult for some to do. Even though the description of this method
